Student or Unemployed????

[dabhoys 0]

Just filling in the work for the past five years. It says to not leave any gaps in the time line. I would be working during the summer and then back to college in winter. But I was not working during the school year.

I would perfer not to be putting down unemployed for 8 months in a year. Makes me look like I'm lazy. So would it be in my best interest to highlight that I was studying at that time?

Thanks again guys your a massive help...

They won't approve or deny you based on whether you were a student or unemployed. This isn't a professional or work visa, nor is it a resume for a potential employer. You don't have to demonstrate a good work history, and you don't gain any extra points by putting a spin on it to make it look better than it actually is. Be accurate and not misleading about your work history, because presenting something that is lying, misleading, fraudulent, or omission of a relevant fact is the big thing that could get you in trouble in ANY immigration form you fill out. As long as you avoid getting in trouble for being misleading, you should be fine.

Having said that, if you were studying full-time, I'd probably say "student" more accurately describes your situation than "unemployed".

Thank you for the good advice lucyrich, Its like when u fill in any sort of employment thing you would state that u were in full time education not unemployed.

I have to agree on the keeping everything right. I'm not leaving anything to miss and will present the truth and relevent information...
